How Businesses Benefit from ITaaS

“As-a-service” solutions are becoming growing and compelling cloud computing services that many businesses are relying on. “Anything as a service” refers to an increasing number of services that are delivered all over the internet via the Cloud rather than being provided locally on-site. Some common examples include those of the SPI model: Software-as-a-service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-service (PaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) etc. One service that businesses don’t recognize but is beneficial in many ways is IT-as-a-service (ITaaS). Outsourcing your IT can transform your IT organization from your traditional cost center to a third-party service provider. With this growing model, IT organizations can become more “business-focused” and will be able to bring in a new level of agility to their company.

Your IT department will decide what on-premise or off-premise hardware, software or cloud applications your current infrastructure is in need of. The benefits of what ITaaS can offer vary based on your organization and your business needs. Some major ones include the following:

1. Better focus: IT departments will no longer be worrying about their day-to-day IT problems and will be able to focus on delivering services that meet and advance your business requirements.
2. Self-service: With ITaaS you no longer will have to wait on your IT department to receive the resources and products that you need for your project. ITaaS allows you to immediately choose the correct cloud solution for whatever current project you’re on.
3. Cost Predictability: A nice thing about the as-a-service solution is that all of your costs will become more predictable from month to month never affecting the IT budget.

Switching to the as-a-service business model can be confusing and intimidating, but recognizing the benefits and what solutions are best for your business will turn to be beneficial in the long run. Make sure to plan first and understand your business needs, make sure to move at a steady pace and to feel more comfortable, learn to balance managed and traditional services.
